The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded a $101,004,160 Child Support Services Block Grant (CFDA 93.563) to the Iowa Department of Human Services (Iowa DHS) for the period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The purpose of this Block Grant is to enforce child support obligations by locating absent parents, establishing paternity, and obtaining child, spousal, and medical support orders. Iowa DHS, through its Division of Fiscal Management, will use these funds to deliver a wide range of essential social services and safety net programs across Iowa, including child welfare, healthcare access, nutrition assistance, mental health support, emergency relief, and other initiatives designed to promote the well-being of vulnerable populations such as children, families, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and low-income residents. Iowa DHS frequently partners with local providers, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and other state-level departments as sub-awardees to implement these services.
